The next step for Richards, who is expected to return to the rotation in mid-April, will be to throw in a minor league game on Monday. “My knee felt great -- it held up nice,” said Richards, who went 13-4 with a 2.61 earned-run average before tearing the patellar tendon in his knee while covering first base during a game at Fenway Park on Aug.
